摘要： A novel system and method is disclosed for maintaining synchronization in a communication system in which a communication signal comprising a carrier and a data signal is sent from a transmitter to a receiver which includes a phase lock loop. The receiver compares the output of a Viterbi decoder with the output of a quick decision circuit. The Viterbi decoder, which incorporates traceback, determines the minimum aggregate Euclidean distance for multiple symbols. The quick decision circuit determines the minimum Euclidean distance for a single symbol without decoding the symbol. A delay circuit is placed in series with the quick decision circuit to compensate for the traceback delay in the Viterbi decoder. If the difference in the output signals of the Viterbi decoder and the quick decision circuit is greater than a predetermined threshold, the phase error signal in the phase lock loop is prevented from updating the phase lock loop filter. A synchronization loss detector may also be used to prevent the phase error signal from updating the phase lock loop filter if synchronization loss is detected. Additionally, the output signal from the Viterbi decoder is used to extract the carrier from the received communication signal by use of a lookup table to generate phase angle information as a function of the Viterbi decoder output signal. The phase angle information is combined with the Viterbi decoder output signal to reconstitute the data signal in the communication signal. The reconstituted data signal is combined with the communication signal, which has been delayed to compensate for the traceback delay in the Viterbi decoder, in order to extract the carrier.

摘要翻译： 公开了一种新颖的系统和方法，用于在包括载波和数据信号的通信信号从发射机发送到包括锁相环的接收机的通信系统中保持同步。 接收机将维特比解码器的输出与快速判定电路的输出进行比较。 包含追溯的维特比解码器确定多个符号的最小聚合欧几里德距离。 快速判决电路确定单个符号的最小欧几里德距离，而不对码元进行解码。 延迟电路与快速判定电路串联放置以补偿维特比解码器中的回溯延迟。 如果维特比解码器和快速判定电路的输出信号的差大于预定阈值，则防止锁相环中的相位误差信号更新锁相环滤波器。 如果检测到同步丢失，则同步丢失检测器也可用于防止相位误差信号更新锁相环滤波器。 此外，来自维特比解码器的输出信号用于通过使用查找表从接收到的通信信号中提取载波，以产生作为维特比解码器输出信号的函数的相位角信息。 相位角信息与维特比解码器输出信号组合，以重构通信信号中的数据信号。 重构的数据信号与已被延迟以补偿维特比解码器中的回溯延迟的通信信号组合，以便提取载波。

摘要： A method (500) is provided for enabling a promiscuous monitoring of network communications by a monitor node (MN). The method includes the steps of: generating a directed IP packet at a first node (FN); transmitting a first unicast signal including a RTS message from the FN to a second node (SN); transmitting a second unicast signal including a CTS message from the SN to the FN in response to the first unicast signal; modifying the directed IP packet by changing an IP destination address of the directed IP packet to an IP subnet broadcast address; transmitting a uni-broadcast signal including the modified directed IP packet from the FN to the IP subnet broadcast address; and receiving the uni-broadcast signal at the SN and a third node (TN). The TN is an IP-enabled device provided to monitor network communications between the FN and SN.
